Lets start 2009, with a fresh start, for you and your PC!

Lets start 2009 with a fresh new start, for you and your computer! I don't no if your like this but i HATE it when my computer runs slow, i just cant stand it. So there is a lot of things that can speed the performance of your Pc. So here is a couple of things your can do to clean up your computer and speed it up a little!

Disk clean up.

First thing you can do is do a disk cleanup. Disk cleanup cleans up all the unnecessary files on your computer. That your don't need or should't be there. To perform a disk cleanup your need to go to:  Start menu>  Accessories>  System Tools> Disk Cleanup> One you have selected Disk Cleanup, it will ask you to select the drive you want to clean, i always clean both, More memory! Then it will process all the files that need to be cleaned up. After that has finished it will tell you how much memory will be gained if you clean up the files. Click ok and your done.

Disk Defragment.

Disk Defragment is a is a program that is  designed to increase access speed by rearranging files  stored on a disk to occupy contiguous storage locations, a technique commonly known as defragmenting . The purpose is to optimize the time it takes to read and write files to/from the disk by minimizing head travel time and maximizing the transfer rate. As of Vista, Disk Defragmenter is also used to improve system startup times. But if i am honest. Do not use the Windows Disk Defragment program. I do not recoment it. It is a bit slow and just boring to be honest! The program i use is called Smart Defrag. You can download it from here>Download Now .This program Defrags your Pc, but it Defrags it in the background. Unlike Windows Disk Defragment, you can not access your Pc while Disk Defragment is running. Which sucks a lot. But Smart Defrag runs in the background. You can just use you Pc just like your didn't even no it was Defragmenting your system.

Empty your recycling bin weekly.

Another good way to gain memory and speed up your Pc is to empty your recycling bin weekly. Because they are just unnecessary files that take up space and well just not needed to be honest. 

A awesome program to help you out

There is a program that your can download called Advanced System Care. Basically what this program does is. Check your Pc for virus's,problems and known issues, and just fixes it like A,B,C. Its a really handy program to have, i would suggest to run the scan to check for problems about once a week just to speed it up and check for viruses and issues. You can download it from here>Download Now

  1. The Windows defragmenter is slow and doesnt have a graphic display. I recommend Diskeeper automatic defrag. Just set it and go about your work, the drives are kept efficiently defragmented even if they dont have 15% free space.
